NREA is recognizing April 18, 2014, as National Lineman
Appreciation Day to honor the hardworking men who work often in challenging
conditions to keep the power on.

We are recognizing all electric
linemen for the services they perform around the clock in dangerous conditions
to keep the power on and protect the public’s safety.

“Electric linemen do not often receive
the recognition they deserve,” said Troy Bredenkamp, General Manager, NREA.
“They work all hours of the day, often in hazardous conditions far from their
families, going above and beyond to restore power to their communities. Our
linemen, as well as linemen from all across the nation, truly deserve this
special day of recognition.”
